These accusations keep changing from “he did it” to “he didn’t”. It’s flip flopped around so much in the past decades that I really can’t tell. So I decided to fully separate art from artist and enjoy the music.

It’s 2026 and another law suit pops up (all prior ones were dismissed for lack of evidence) that seems very fishy, meh. Maybe they should just publicize the Jackson Files and let the internet do its thing.

Speaking of files: I wish everyone in the Epstein files would catch at least 1/10 of the lawsuits MJ got.

Micheal Jackson gave a sanctuary to abused children. Despite what I thought when I was young I have come to the realization he was not a predator.

Worth looking into.

It wasn't proven, but I would believe it if it was.

I have Shinobi vs Dragonninja stuck in my head for 2 days now, I'll take MJ anyday!

Their royals didn't invent pedos, but they'd love to take the credit. Hard to colonize though, that credit. 🤷🏼
